Volte asked in another thread where this was posted. It was buried in an old MMORPG post, so I'm digging it out and giving it its own topic, because my criteria could probably use some improvement.

Scoring system as it stands:
1. Doesn't know any programming
2. Wants someone else to do their programming
3. Has a "great idea"
4. Delusions of grandeur (better than WoW, etc)
5. Will simulate the ENTIRE UNIVERSE and you can have ANY JOB including AMBULANCE DRIVER
6. Has "artist friends"
7. No up-front payment
8. Amusing royalties offered
9. Deficient English skills
10. Wants to write it in Visual Basic
11. Has read the MMORPG post but thinks it doesn't apply to them
BONUS POINTS:
